Steppenwolf | How Hesse Predicted Today’s INCELS
In this video, we dive deep into Hermann Hesse’s Steppenwolf, exploring how the novel’s themes of identity crisis, alienation, and transformation resonate with today’s society, particularly with the experiences of modern incels. Written in 1927, Steppenwolf offers a timeless examination of the human psyche, with Harry Haller’s struggles mirroring the challenges faced by those who feel disconnected in the contemporary world.
Join us as we analyze Hesse’s insights into the duality of human nature, the dangers of isolation, and the potential for self-discovery. Could Haller’s journey in Steppenwolf provide answers for those struggling with their own identity and sense of belonging today?

It explains the concept and then you may go into details like history or ethics The picture of the old dude with the Olympic torch could be a great thumbnail Style- maybe you can think about the way you talk, it can come across as slow and a little boring. Maybe you don't need to change the way you speak , maybe some pictures will help Retention- You can ask some questions at the end of your elevator pitch to boost engagement. Maybe you can touch on some interesting concepts like ethics in sports Clickbait- click bait is not bad as long as you can back it up with substance I am NOT trying to discourage or judge you.

However, I agree that adding some dynamism to my narration would be beneficial. Figuring out a good thumbnail is certainly more challenging for me than coming up with an engaging video idea and writing a comprehensive script.

    Clearly, the only concept of god being considered in this discussion is that of monotheism, more specifically, anthropomorphic monotheism. The subtle references to 'he' or 'him' make my point. I personally am of the opinion that 'god' is an entirely human construct, and any attempt to describe what 'god' might be is about as useless as an ashtray on a motorcycle. All life on earth is merely dust in the wind, and we humans are as likely to know what god is as a squirrel does. Just my opinion of course.🤔

    Only human meat eaters, or all carnivorous animals, plants, and fungi? Wasps and hornets are pretty brutal. A dozen hornets can destroy an entire honeybee colony (>10K individuals) in just a couple of hours. Honeybees are intelligent, vegan, and entirely beneficial. In the case of honeybees (unlike destructive caterpillars), hornets are not performing a useful service. Hornets, however, kill quickly, unlike many parasitic wasps.

      @@nikodemlewandowski379 Absolutely true: hornets and wasps are "obligate carnivores"--or rather, their larvae are. Adult vespids eat nectar or other sugary things, but they catch pray for their young, who (in some species) in turn secrete a liquid that the adults consume. True, morality applies only to moral agents, but the goal is still to *reduce suffering*. If vespids are not moral agents, do we just ignore the suffering of their victims (especially honeybees)? Because we are not engaged in the killing, do we have no responsibility? This is a trolley problem: we stand at the switch, and can alter the balance of suffering. Maybe the solution for honeybees is just better anti-hornet beehive designs. But there are far more vespids, with far more victims. If you have the stomach for it, search RUclips for 'hornets vs bees', and you'll get an idea of the scale of the slaughter.

    There is a far more important angle to consider this not just as an ethical problem but, rather, as an EPISTOMOLOGICAL one. Strange though it may sound, this is a real possibility. Assume that vegans succeed in convincing all humans on this earth, without even a single exception, to become vegans. Yet this is not going to end predation per se on this earth, as the animal predators (lions, tigers,....) would still continue to eat other animals. But if we assume nature has a VIRTUE based design of particle structural compulsion that accurate mathematical formula for integrating arithmetic, geometry and particle physics by deriving what particles correspond to DIGITS, with which we calculate in our minds ~ not the electrons in the chips we ourslves make ~ with the 4 arithmetic operations as the only LAWS OF MOTION for all interactions among them, can only be derived by setting eradication of predation in animals too as the ultimate goal of all knowledge, and if that resultant knowledge enables PREVENTION of all EVIL, instead of their PREDICTION, the ultimate goal of current science, then it would be 100% proof that nature is ethically geared to this realization (eradication of predation in animal kingdom too, by deriving the mathematical model of the mechanism how particle interactions inside the earth develop PLANTS on its own surface, to then deliver and sustain living beings here through them). Such knowledge alone can enable us to compel all animal predators too to start surviving on food from plants only, in addition to compelling other omnivore cohumans, without having any necessity to preach ~ simply by influencing development of, and growth on, plants by programming the (gaseous, liquid and solid) substances each person relases to the surrounding, i.e. programming and operating the plants just the same way as we operate our electronic devices with remote control devices at present. Evil, thereby, is defined exhaustively as DISASTERS, PREDATION, DISEASES ~ which include all birth defects, all weapons manufacture, all violence ~ and DEATH.

    • @nikodemlewandowski379

      Thank you for your comment and an interesting perspective! You claim that if nature operates according to certain fundamental principles-like mathematical laws integrating arithmetic, geometry, and particle physics-then understanding these principles might eventually help us address predation in all living beings. And that if we could fully understand and model how these principles work, we might find ways to influence or compel even animal predators to shift to plant-based diets. This perspective does indeed present an epistemological challenge, as it involves acquiring knowledge about the very fundamentals of reality. It’s more of a thought experiment than a practical approach at this stage, but it certainly is thought-provoking. Additionally, I have some doubts that carnivorse could survive only on plant-based diet.

Filozofia chińska kończy się na Konfucjuszu, i nie wiem, czy to nie z tego powodu, że taki Laozi jest asocjowany z ruchem religijnym, czy coś... A pretty sure, że tak traktuje się całą indyjską tradycję filozoficzną, bo przecież każdy tam był praktykującym yoginem, co jest kryterium dyskwalifikującym z bycia filozofem.

      Dzięki za komentarz! Filozofia zawsze do pewnego stopnia była odbiciem swoich czasów, przesiąknięta kulturą miejsca i epoki. Przykładem jest chociażby przesiąknięta chrześcijaństwem filozofia średniowiecznej Europy. Rzeczywiście, filozofia wschodnia jest mało obecna na zachodnich uniwersytetach, a różnice kulturowe z pewnością odgrywają tu dużą rolę. Głównym powodem jest to, że mają one zupełnie inny charakter filozofowania. W dużej mierze filozofia wschodnia ma charakter mądrościowy i praktyczny, co odróżnia ją od bardziej systematycznego podejścia filozofii zachodniej. Silne poleganie w taoizmie i buddyzmie na introspekcji i subiektywizacja filozofowania mają działanie dyskredytujące z perspektywy zachodu. W dzisiejszym dyskursie filozoficznym, który jest silnie znaturalizowany i analityczny, różnice kulturowe stają się jednak mniej znaczące.

Researching philosophy doesn't necessarily make you a philosopher :) There is a cool book on this subject by Pierre Hadot, "Philosophy as a Way of Life." Many philosophers throughout the ages have questioned the existence of reality. Today's doubts about that are often expressed through examples like: the problem of living in a simulation or the brain in a vat scenario. A particularly strong philosophical position on this matter is 'solipsism' (the idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist), but today I don't think anyone truly believes that, it's more like a mental exercise.

      Thanks for the comment! While personal experiences with non-physical phenomena under the influence of mind-altering substances can inspire questions regarding the fundamentals of our reality, I believe that integrating these insights into our broader understanding of reality requires a methodical approach.

    If we set PRACTICAL PREVENTION OF ALL EVIL (defined exhaustively as DISASTERS, PREDATION, DISEASES ~ which include all birth defects, all weapons manufacture, all violence ~ and DEATH) as the sole purpose cum criterion of proof of all knowledge, then whatever assumptions as to existences that enable achieving this goal would be the 100% accurate answer to this historic question (what is reality?) forever. Not realizing this fact that "purpose free search for knowledge would lead us nowhere" is the reason why human race as a whole, from antiquity to present day, from Thales of Miletus to Stephen Hawking and still continuing, is yet to derive the mathematical model of the mechanism for even a single natural phenomenon that could PREDICT accurately when it could harm life function, let alone PREVENT such. When one doesn't know where one wants to go no road can be wrong, neither can any be right. That has always been (and still, of course, IS) the fate of all hitherto search for knowledge of the entire human race, with the ideal : KNOWLEDGE FOR ITS OWN SAKE OUT OF CURIOSITY.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Interesting perspective that a purpose-free search for knowledge leads to stagnation. The practical prevention of all evil seems compelling, but surely unrealistic. I think that some people just like to be evil, or do evil things for the sake of being good.

      @@nikodemlewandowski379 The goal mentioned above certainly is NOT an easy task. It involves a total reset of the fundamentals of current mathematics and particle physics to derive the mathematical model of the mechanism how particle interactions inside the earth develop PLANTS on its own surface, to then deliver and sustain living beings here through them. This earth is the only vessel in the entire known universe that manufactures living bodies in its bowels, delivers and sustains them on its own surface through the PLANTS it develops for that purpose. Understanding this mechanism implies discarding the sustenance of life irrelevant assumptions in almost all branches of current science, including The Cartesian System of Coordinates, the positive and negative directions of which, when applied to the center of the earth, has ABSOLUTELY NO PHYSICAL MEANING, the Copernican assumption that this earth is a mediocre ball of mass that revolves stupidly around a star without any relevance to how that elaborately calculated motions of celestial bodies serve to sustain life here, and the Standard Model of particles, where only the photon has any direct relevance to life function. So called natural sciences completely ignore life function as irrelevant for its investigations, while biology and the so called social sciences lack any fundamental principles to analyze how plants develop from soil due to particle interactions inside the earth. Once the absurd Cartesian System of Coordinates is substituted with a particle physics compatible system of arithmetic and geometry, many things nobody ever imagined as possible, like compelling lions and tigers to survive only on plant sources would become a reality. If one assumes a priori positive results that we desire are impossible, as you mentioned in your response, then there is no purpose in wasting time, efforts and funds searching for knowledge. It is far more rational then to enjoy life as much as possible instead, and let events flow whatever way nature (or god or whichever other name one prefers to call The Cruel Brute that created and sustains all the evil) decides they should.

    The nature of reality is as such it shouldn't be questioned reality is our surroundings we accept it the human mind is not able to comprehend it for once in philosophy there must be acceptance regarding a topic and no questions asked. We all shall have our own perceptions and accept each other as their own for everyone has their own reality.

      Thank you for your comment! It raises an important point about the nature of reality. The nature of reality, how it works, is not obvious, which is why we delve into these questions in philosophy. You mention acceptance of our surroundings as reality, but philosophical inquiry examines for example: whether reality consists of one substance or two (monism vs. dualism). Idealism, in particular, argues that reality is fundamentally mental, challenging the notion that our surroundings are purely physical. Naturalism, by contrast, maintains that everything arises from natural causes and properties. While acceptance of the existence of reality is reasonable and valuable, philosophical exploration helps us better understand the complexities and nuances of reality.

    0:40 "It is true that from a biological standpoint we are either born as females or males" well, that isn't so obvious, yes, gametes are either an egg or a sperm cell, but we don't view humans this way, when someone does not produce gametes we don't look at them as not having sex. When we look at genitals there are possibilities for humans to have a in-between genitals (2-5 on the Quigley scale). When we look at chromosomes there is a possibility of humans having XXX, XXY or XYY chromosomes. I came across arguments that these are anomalies, and therefore shouldn't be taken into account, but this is simply not how things work, if you say you can classify humans into 2 distinct categories, then come across humans that you can't, you can't just dismiss this, this means that you can't classify humans into 2 distinct categories. To clarify, I'm not saying that sex doesn't exists or anything like that, I'm saying, that even in humans, things aren't so simple and require discussion. 0:56 "it is a fact that in our language we have only a possibility to refer to someone as either male or female" well, both in English and Polish (to languages that I believe we have in common) you can refer to someone in a different way, in English you can use singular "they" to refer to a person of an unknown gender or to a person who does not wish to be referred too by either he or she and this has been in use at least since Shakespireian times and in Polish you do have the neuter form, not to mention other languages that have such capabilities. 1:06 the medical term used is "Gender dysphoria", the word dysmorphia is used to refer to "Body dysmorphia", this of course doesn't invalidate any claim but I just wanted to specify that. 1:59 This is not the only reason that we see sex and gender as different things/why we view gender as a social construct, gender does not only refer to ones belief as to what gender they are, but to the whole social construction around sex/gender, such as gender roles, there isn't a biological (sex based) reason as to why women should for example, wear dresses while men should wear pants. You do mention different cultural behavior later but I don't know why you didn't mention it here. Why doesn't gender affect society in your graph, and what do you mean when saying society? Why do you claim that saying that gender is a social construct oversimplifies reality? Something being a social construct doesn't mean it's not real, or that it is totally unaffected/unbased by/in the physical reality, money, as an example is a social construct, yet it very much does so. I do agree with your division into Psychological and Social gender, but that division doesn't mean that gender cannot be a social construct. What do "unverifiable gender identities" mean? How does one verify a gender identity? Yes, having a non-binary gender identity is a way to cope, with having a non-binary gender identity, claiming that such identities are unverifiable, while saying unverified claims that this is a way of coping with facing difficulties in social situations, feeling of validation or seeking external validation, as having and expressing ones non-binary identity leads to the opposite in conservative societies/communities . "Imposing subjective beliefs about gender on society goes against the principle of tolerance" Could you expand on that point? Also, I have to mention, this may be purely my overanalysis due to having to much time seeing bad arguments, but some of your comments about people/scientists seeing gender as a social construct seem a little bit petty. I hope that my comment doesn't come in as an attack, as I see that you are honest and non-aggressive in your argumentation and I hope that we can have a fruitful discussion.

    Subtle Programming This might sound insane but I believe that there's an active effort to shape our thinking by influencing our subconscious. I believe this is done by adding some frames to videos in movies, music etcetera that are not part of the movie or music but are instead propaganda material. These frames are just long enough to be noticed subconsciously but not long enough for your conscious mind to register. This form of mind programming might be more effective than the outright propaganda in the media because one does not realize it and as such does not resist. One might only notice it in dreams as the subconscious mind does its job of filtering relevant to irrelevant information

    • @nikodemlewandowski379

      The idea of subconscious influence through media is a topic that has sparked various discussions. While there have been historical claims about subliminal messaging, scientific consensus today suggests that such methods are generally ineffective and often not supported by robust evidence. It's important to approach these topics with a critical eye and consider the sources of information we rely on. Media content, including movies and music, is subject to regulations to prevent unethical practices. If you're interested in exploring this further, I encourage looking into credible research and expert opinions on the subject.
